Made In Taiwan…in New York

As you walk off of 42nd street and walk into Grand Central Station, you glare upon a whole display of products ranging from elegantly crafted vases to meticulously engineered bicycles. This is the 2014 Taiwan Excellence Showcase. An initiative of Taiwan’s Ministry of Economy Affairs through the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT), and carried out by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the Taiwan Excellence Showcase will travel around the world hitting spots in United States, England, Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Turkey. Displaying what is truly “Made In Taiwan”, the quality and ingenuity is put on display for the world to see.

If you’re in New York City, the showcase will be at Grand Central from October 21 to October 25.
